This traditional solid core nylon string ("synthetic gut") is one of the best values at . Few strings offer as much all around playability for the price. The feel is comfortably crisp and very predictable across all stroke speeds. Stronger players looking for more control can increase the string tension without sacrificing comfort. All in all, this is one of the best possible options for non string breakers who want great performance at a very low price. Advanced poly players with durability concerns are advised to use this string as a hybrid cross. This is a "must have" for high school players, frequent club players and those looking for a quality syn gut on a budget. It's also perfect for home stringers who need a "go to" syn gut or reliable hybrid parts. Compared to OG Micro Super, this string has a thinner center core. The result is a slightly softer and more powerful response than OG Micro Super.

What players say

Liked 2 sources

Gosen OG-Sheep Micro 16/1.29 is a long-running budget synthetic gut that Tennis Warehouse testers and customers rate highly for comfort and feel but only middling for power, control, and spin. Most reviewers use it as the cross string in a poly hybrid rather than a full bed, where it softens the setup without breaking the budget.

Customer reviews report a wide durability range, from roughly 6-8 hours to breaking within a couple of sets for some players
